Book description
Dans L'origine de l'humanité, Leakey nous restitue l'aventure de la paléontologie moderne et fait le point sur ses connaissances les plus récentes concernant l'apparition de l'homme, ses caractéristiques physiques, ses lieux d'habitat. Il insiste sur le rôle, chez nos ancêtres, de la bipédie, capacité révolutionnaire à l'origine de progrès considérables. Il montre ensuite comment les hommes ont développé organisation sociale, culture, langage, et cette qualité fondamentale et mystérieuse : la conscience de soi. -
